And I stood there waving...
At first I was shy around you,
But then we became
What I’d call friends.
It was not hard, just hello
And goodbye.
A few times we’d chat,
A great companionship.
But I wanted more...
I didn’t want to be on the sidelines.
I wanted to be part of your life,
But you wouldn’t let me.
And you found out,
Like I knew you would.
And you wouldn’t have it.
Even then I knew something was wrong...
The old jealousy ploy.
Ha! With my friend.
For your enlightenment, it’s not about looks;
The hair, the eyes, the body.
It’s what’s inside.
But still you didn’t believe,
And you still didn’t know,
It was bad for you too.
Now I’m not going to stand for it,
Wait for you to come right.
So goodbye, old friend.
It never worked.
Sorry to spoil your life,
I didn’t want it this way.
But was it really so hard to just be my friend?
If you see me in the hall
I might say, “Hi”,
And that’s all you deserve.
Your time is over,
Goodbye.
And I stood there waving,
Waving at you.
It will never be the same.
I’ll no longer wear a mask for you.

I really love the story that goes along with this write... I know Ive been there befor.. But I dont really think you read the rules to this contest Ciara asked for no more than 30 lines... I think you should either rewrite this poem to fit the rules or cut down things in this write. You ahve great imagery and alot of talent... just please read the rules.
